Investment Banks and Their Colors
Ever associate things with colors? I do, and when someone says a bank's name, I immediately connect it with a random color. Here are my colors and the explanation. These colors are obviously wrong, but they were formed before I ever saw the bank's real logo, and my brain never really got rid of them.
Goldman Sachs - Yellow, this one is easy cause the "Gold" reminds me of gold, which is a shade of yellow.
Wells Fargo - Blue, "Fargo" rhymes with "cargo," which in my memory, is always a blue thing behind a truck, therefore it's blue. Also when you look down a "well" it's blue water (or black).
JP Morgan - Purple, because the word purple starts with P. Also JP Morgan himself had rosacea.
Morgan Stanley - Orange, I have no clue why this is but it is deeply printed on my brain's memory.
Citigroup - White, mainly because their building here in Toronto is white.
Credit Suisse - White, mainly because I've visited the office before and it was very white.
Barclays - Blue, I always see their logo printed on a football player's jersey in the Champion's league, and the first time I saw this their jersey was blue.
Salomon, Bear, Lehman - Industrial granite building color. First piece of financial news I was ever interested in was the collapse of Lehman (I was like 14), it showed a helicopter's view of Lehman's building, so I took that color for these three cause they all kinda collapsed.
Merrill Lynch - Goldish bronze color cause their logo is that bull.
Deutsche Bank and UBS - Red, when I think about these German/Swiss sounding names, I think about Switzerland, and their flag is mostly red.
Nomura - Blue, I don't know why.
Piper Jaffray - Green, "Piper" is close to "Pipe," and pipes are used for smoking weed. You figure out the rest.
Lazard - Dark green, "Lazard" sounds like "Lizard" which remind me of dark green things.
Evercore - Earthy and black, the word "core" strikes geological rocks and their attributes in my head, so dark brown and black stuff.
Greenhill - Green, obvious.
Okay, anyone else have these types of thoughts? Or am I just completely insane?
Go home Dog, you're drunk. What do you think you're doing? You have paws, you can't even type.
maybe he's a dawg and not a dog.
u wot m8?
How many dawgs do you know who type with impeccable spelling & grammar?
What on earth is happening here?
I hope never to meet you. Get some rest, re-read this thread then realise how cretinous you sound.
hey man i think weird shit too i just don't tell people about it
Well, you definitely must have been high as shit to write such a post.
Actually sir I don't smoke. And frankly, I am quite shocked by the lack of similar views from other users.
Sounds like a horrid case of synesthaesia. Talk to the therapist, not the Internet.
Well shit, maybe you should. May help calm the dementia.
I thought "You figure out the rest" was pretty funny. op so kindly enlightened everyone that pipes are used for smoking weed and then alluded to some connection between weed and the color green that we were to "figure out". I'm never going to catch on to this one...
OP I want to pump you full of all sorts of uppers, downers, screamers and laughers because I want to see where your mind will take us.
random, but this reminds me of a book i read recently on memory: http://www.amazon.com/Moonwalking-Einstein-Science-Remembering-Everythi…
was an entertaining and interesting read...
lol one of the more unique posts i've seen on wso...
on a serious note, I heard ppl w/ synesthesia can memorize insane amounts of data, would be pretty helpful for banking no?

95% of them I would consider blue or red or gold.. because their website/logos say so...
"What you've just said... is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul..."
not sure why, but I sort of enjoyed this...
Time to fart.
What did you smoke dog? I like the idea overall. Wells Fargo should be red or gold!
What is going on with SBs? I'm severely confused by all this 1.214139
When I think of this post, I think of white, because you're a special/unique snowflake. Also, because blow is white and this post blows.
.xx is the number of comments in the thread
Have you guys really never associated stuff with colors before? like when you were a kid?
Anyways, humoring the OP.
GS - red, MS - white (shoe), Blackston - black, evercore - grey, greenhill - green, piper jaffray - purple, wells - yellow and red, rothischild - blue, moelis - no clue, centerview- silverwhite, bank of america - american flag colors, barclays - blue, citi - white, deutsche bank - yellow and white, credit suise - greyish silver

Might be time to take a step back and find a hobby. Obviously thinking about IB WAYYY too much.
